Anything about the lemmy.ml instance and its moderation.
For discussion about the Lemmy software project, go to [email protected].
It should come as no surprise that the lemmy.ml admin team took about 2 minutes to decide to pre-emptively block threats / Meta. Their transparent and opportunistic scheme to commodify the fediverse and it's users will not be allowed to proceed.
We strongly encourage other instance administrators to do the same, given the grave threat they pose to the fediverse.
Excellent news. I would have moved to another instance that did block if .ml didn't block them. Thank you for this lemmy.ml
Thank you so much! Let's make sure the XMPP situation never repeats ever again.
Would anybody be surprised if he bled white goo like Ash in the movie Alien. He looks not quite human.
Good riddance
Great news, now let's hope every instance follows.
Excellent. Big corporations go against the very idea of the fediverse.
Very good! I sincerely hope all the others will too. If lemm.ee won't, I know where I'll be moving to ;)
I don’t understand this logic. Don’t we want Lemmy to be more mainstream and user friendly? Preemptively blocking any mainstream attempt to connect and bring in more users just sounds slightly petulant to me. Like I get meta = shitty company but I don’t get why we shouldn’t encourage more people joining the fediverse. And getting external help in growing it. And threads was the first mainstream olive branch that showed Lemmy, Kbin, and mastodon has legitimacy worth building infrastructure to join.
Idk blocking other people categorically from connecting just seems antithetical to the idea that it should be a decentralized system free to all to join.
But I’m new here, so maybe Im mistaken on the ethos of Lemmy.
To be honest, I dont think this is that good of an idea. We need to stop talking about profile, but focus on the content in it. People like me could be able to follow friends and family over on threads, which could help in terms of user lock in.
Blocking them could be good idea if lemmy was big enough to compete.
That is great news!
